For those who has been following my blog for a while you may remember following my unassisted pregnancy and then the birth of Khéna. His birth was such a healing time for me. He was my largest baby and after two long and hard labours that did not go as planned, his birth was perfect and so was he.

Just born…. a few days old…. 9 weeks old

He was such a big baby and he has grown into a tall and heavy but now thin 6 year old. There are days that we look through pictures and I find it amazing how much he has changed and grown.

Khéna is an amazing kid. He is always happy and laughing and trying to make others laugh. He loves cars and trucks, policemen and firemen and anything with a motor or mechanical , something that the other boys had their phases but then moved on. He can play with playmobils for hours and is now getting into making elaborate Lego sets. He loves animals and his favourite show to watch is Zaboomafoo and he will mention obscure animal fact at random times in the day. Today we went to Build-a-Bear and he made the coolest bear with two of favourite passions. A Jaguar bear in a Police Uniform. (I’ll take a picture tomorrow)

Khéna is such a loving kid. He loves to give hugs and kisses and is always saying I love you. He is considerate and understanding and wants everyone to be happy around him.

waw, can you send me the link to the unassisted birth posts? i was wondering: what happens to the other kids when you birth at home, they are all there? i am pregnant of my second child and will birth at home with my midwive, i am not sure what to do with my 4 yr old. i would prefer he weren’t there so i can realy get in “my bubble” and not have to consider how he feels etc, but what happens if it’s at night etc?
thanks for your reply melissa, i appreciate.

Both of the links are on my blog highlights page along with my other birth stories… and Congrats!!! Basically, with Khena, the two older boys were watching a movie and hanging around. I didn’t really pay attention to them. With Willa, the three kids were sleeping still… though Xavier had woken up he stayed downstairs and came up once she was born…
